About UUIDs

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier that is unique across both space and time. They are commonly used in software development for creating unique IDs without a centralized authority.

UUID Version 4 (Random)

  • Generated using random numbers
  • Statistically unique across space and time
  • Most commonly used UUID version
  • Ideal for distributed systems

UUID Version 1 (Time-based)

  • Generated using timestamp and node ID
  • Guaranteed to be unique if node ID is unique
  • Can be used to sort by creation time
  • May reveal when and where it was created
